RUDN University mathematicians proposed a model for optimizing the operation of queuing systems (from computer networks to stores). Unlike analogues, the servers in it are self-sustained. They can determine when to start and stop working themselves. Such a model can be useful, for example, for online taxi services and other systems where workers choose their own operating hours.

RUDN University scientists together with colleagues from Switzerland proved in a clinical trial the effectiveness of a new dosage form — amorphous solid dispersion. This is the first such study in humans to show the mechanism of action of this form of drug release. In the future, it will help to increase the effectiveness of drugs and use new active substances for treatment.

RUDN engineers have proposed a new complex of cement and coal for purifying water from toxic pollutants. The operation of the filter compound was tested experimentally — by purifying water from two dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B). Moreover, its efficiency (it reached 80%) was tested in a simple way — with the help of a smartphone application.
